Another soldier widow, quietly preps to embrace country colors

In yet another similar case, Nidhi Dubey's soldier husband Naik Mukesh Dubey died of a cardiac arrest in 2009.

Shunned by her in-laws, the 4-months pregnant Nidhi returned to her parents' home.

She began training in 2014, seeing an advertisement inviting military widows to join the Army.

Things weren't easy for Nidhi who appeared for the entrance exam 5 times, finally succeeding in the last attempt.
